It’s hard to believe you are 5 years old today.
The other day you and I walked to the mailbox together. We were holding hands and you said, “I wonder if there will be something for me?” There certainly was something for you! It was a Birthday card from your Uncle David.
You were so pleased to open your card.
It took a little bit of effort. Sometimes the envelopes are tricky.
You were happy to see a Robot card. Uncle David always picks the best ones.
Wow, you found 5 dollars in it! 5 is nice.
Brother Ethan took your card and read it to you. You liked looking at your money, but I could tell that you were listening to Ethan, too.
I was glad I was taking pictures. You and Ethan are good brothers. Wasn’t it nice of him to read to you?
Every angle of the 5 dollar bill is interesting.
This is my favorite picture. You looked at me so sweetly. You were asking, with your eyes, “See, Mama?”
Then, this next moment, you thought, “Yep, she saw. She’s happy and so I’m even happier.” I like to see your smile.
Just a few simple moments of my day. A couple handsome boys, a birthday card and 5 dollars.
5 is nice.
Happy 5th Birthday to our little son.
And, here is a fact about his birth:
He was our biggest baby!
7 pounds and 3 oz.
Good to be Home

Happy, happy fifth birthday to a beautiful little boy with a sweet and contagious smile! What great pictures and what a precious brother relationship. I love to see my children ministering to one another like that. It is so precious and it just gives a deep feeling of satisfaction to a mommy’s heart, doesn’t it?
